What’s the worst part of your rig?

For me, it would definitely have to be my storage solution. I'm running a 6 year old 750 GB sata 2 HDD. My PC takes about 12 minutes before I can do anything on it, and loading a map in any game takes about 3 minutes or so ;). To put this into perspective here's the rest of my rig:

 

FX 8350

HD 7950 1055/1525

MSI 990FX GD80V2

16 Gb G.Skill Sniper Ram @ 1600Mhz

Coolermaster Silent pro 1000w 80+Gold

CM Storm Sniper 

 

So you guys have any embarrassing parts, or parts you wish you hate and could upgrade and replace in your rig?

 

Edit-

God I love thread revives ;)

The keyboard I'm being forced to use right now is a Dell RT7D50 (crappy OEM keyboard that comes with old prebuilt stuff). I swear, it has an actuation pressure twice as much as blues just from being so old and sticky, despite my thorough cleaning.

 

EDIT: And you can own this wonderful keyboard too!!! Only this low, low price of $12 on amazon new!  <_<

Crucial Ballistix are naked on the top so they don't look much better than Samsung RAM.

I got many things:

PSU looks ugly.

Case is wierd and small.

Sometimes my ENTER key stays down and my computer opens all the programs it can.

Mouse sometimes disconnects.

 

But the worst would be the keyboard. Its a good keyboard but that ENTER key just makes me angry.

Nothing really, the only thing I can think of is my case, I love my case but it is starting to get to small, this is my 3rd case for this build. The sad thing about it is I want to get the 900D but in about a year I will have that filled to the point were I need a bigger case. It looks like no matter how big of a case i get i try to cover every inch of the case with parts.

Probably my 20 inch 1600x900 HP monitor or $30 2.1 speakers. Both suck pretty bad, but they work for me.

I user my headphones for music so the speakers don't bother me much, but I am thinking of getting a 24inch 1080P monitor sometimes in the future. 

 

Actually I remembered a couple more: 

Brown PCB on my GPU, really MSI? You make a kick ass looking GPU cooler(660ti power editon) and then slap on a ugly brown PCB? Ruins the whole card!

My case(Phantom 410) looks pretty awesome, but sadly the front and top are all plastic, probably because it is difficult to mold metal in intricate shapes.

LOL, but with the type of person i am, what I meant to say is that there is no case big enough for me. No matter the size I will always try to fill every inch of the case :P I seen, I believe it was a caselabs case that was chest high but, could never find it on there site to buy.

My second monitor.  It's a 19" with a max res of 1440x900.  Doesn't really match well with my 23" 1080P.

 

Another one would be my desk.  I'm just using a generic large table.

Definitely my PSU. Not even 80+ certified and its wires are really ugly looking. I'll look forward to replacing it one day.

My setup: my mouse. It is an old logitech wireless and doesn't pickup half the movements >.<

 

My computer: the case, I really like it but the room for cable management in the back is pretty thin and is a bit annoying.

I need a better CPU cooler that isn't monstrously huge but is still pretty and black/white themed.  This arctic cooling pro $12 cooler works but I can't OC at all.

My processor. It's a Phenom x4 970. The worst part is it's paired with a 7970 GE.. It bottlenecks it in almost every game... Replacing it soon though with a 8350. After that the worst component is the cpu cooler. Currently use an Corsair A50. Hopefully I can get to replace it with a closed loop water cooler in the future.
